Fair White Lies

Info

Year: 2014Album: CMYK - EP#4 Key Black (2014)Language: English

Meaning

Love, in terms of high affection and care, justifies sometimes the use of lies. Basically, if you are scared of telling the “rude” and “raw” truth, fair lies could help you to avoid slashing a beloved person’s sensitivity.Obviously it depends on the persons and on the subjects, but in general the “truth” means “care”. You can’t crush or hurt anybody with the truth. In case of delicate personality and perceiving skill the truth can stimulate an accepting phase, or a great respect, in case of a strong personality.But this is rarely followed. Because telling the truth is a speaker’s fear, most of the time, and not a listener’s fear. Moreover there is also a “funny” pride to take care of someone beloved, by omitting true facts or lying for them.A stranger, that surely does not care about you or your fate, would have no problems telling you the truth, in comparison to a beloved person.I love the truth, whatever it is. And, in this song, I beg a stranger, whoever he is, to help me live this life with truth not influenced by love and affection. The raw and the cruel truth.The paradox is completed if I think that a stranger who has no regrets and limits by telling you the truth would show and realize one of the most important aspects of true love.

Lyrics

I don’t know whenI had a chance to talk with you beforeAnd I don’t know whyIt’s so easy to trust in your plain and fair words moreThan the sweet things said by loveThan the suppositories given behind the scenes

Friends and kinI’ve nothing to blame forand nothing to claim against their fair beliefThat the aid I needIs morphine to veil aches quellingTelling smooth lies in lieu of the truthI deserve to see

I rely on your unconsciousness I trust in your indifferenceBecause love sometimes pretends to shieldFrom pain by using fair white lies

An innocent lieSaid to enlighten darkness untoldIt is meant to be a cureA way to smooth a biting fact or the coarse truthWhat I need is the bitter tasteWhat I deserve now is someone beyond the scenes

Friends and kinI’ve nothing to blame forand nothing to claim against their fair beliefThat the aid I needIs morphine to veil aches quellingTelling smooth lies in lieu of the truthI need to face

I rely on your unconsciousnessI trust in your indifferenceBecause love sometimes pretends to shieldFrom pain by using sweet and fair white lies

Oh stranger I, oh strangerI rely on you to know if I should cry, if I should cryThen I trust in you to face my life and chase the timeWhen I’ll be able to build myselfAnd deny that shellWhere I feel so safe by loveInstead of being afraid of my own fair white lies

Forever Like Asleep

Info

Year: 2013Album: CMYK - EP#1 Cyan (2014)Language: English

Meaning

Sometimes I wonder what will happen to us after death.If I were a catholic, probably I would find the answer in the Bible and in the Faith.Or, if I were a invincible Mechanism disciple, I would find the answer in the nothing's echoes or in the cruel but democratic Chaos.I wish or I really love to think that, when I die, my last dream remains in my mind, as a picture frozen for eternity… Oh, this should be a really nice paradise… depending on the dream, obviously! It’s understood it must be a nice one!So… Forever into a dream. Forever like asleep. Wow…At the beginning, when this idea touched my mind, I thought that I would love this kind of afterlife.So I started writing this songBut when i reached the time to write the chorus, I was no longer so enthusiastic about my original idea… because a dream is a mixture of memories and fantasies, fears and regrets. Surely, The End of our life story it is certainly cruel, but enhances the value of life, the real life.So, I would prefer to live a real moment for a minute, than a dream for eternity.
And, if you knew that your dreams will be your afterlife paradise, what kind of value you would give to your life? And what kind of value shall be given to love?

Lyrics

Mmm... Last night i was a KingCrimson velvet gold and greenThe jester's trying to make me laughBy kidding my heart so lonely and weakToo deep into my wars to seek my Queen

I’ve got to dreamTo enjoy my life for realLike once when I was in prisonAble to escape and once outside on my kneesSurprised to feelHow much the smell of freedom can be sweet

I wonder if when my life one day will endand everything will turn to nothingI will keep on living within my dreamsForever like asleep

Your smile will shine in a timeless nightYou’ll be close to me and we’ll liveForever like asleepYou’ll never die enjoying this lifeAfraid of nothing forever like a dream

Although our Lord denied the joy for lifeAn Eternal dream should be a right prizeto pay back his fun to leave usLimping and gasping until our last throw of dieJust leave me, please just leave me my last wish

I wonder if when this world one day will endand everything will turn to nothingI will keep on dreaming to be in love with youForever like asleep

Your smile will shine in a timeless nightYou’ll be close to me and we’ll liveForever like asleepYou’ll never die enjoying this lieAfraid of nothing forever like unreal‘Cause this won’t lightAs much as every moment we’ll share for realEvery single fear we’ll face and winIf you’ll love me and steal my soulI swear I’ll give you my heartTill death do us part

I wonder if when this world one day will endand everything will turn to nothingI will keep on dreaming to be in love with youForever like asleep

Your smile will shine in a timeless nightYou’ll be close to me and well liveForever like asleep

You’ll never die enjoying this lieAfraid of nothing forever like unreal‘Cause this won’t lightAs much as every moment we’ll share for realEvery single fear we’ll face and winIf you’ll love me and steal my soulI swear I’ll give you my heartOh i swear I’ll give you my heartTill death do us part

Year: 2005Album: CMYK - EP#4 Key Black (2014)Language: English

Meaning

In 2005 I made a road trip through California, Arizona and Nevada, from SanFra to grand Canyon and back to SanFra passing through San Diego and LA. In LA I visited Hollywood. Once there, I met the sign “Hollywood Boulevard”, and the movie “Pretty Woman” came into my mind when everything started, with Richard Gere asking Julia Roberts for directions. It was a movie I had seen some weeks earlier. During that visit, I wondered if such a story could be possible in the real world.So I started writing this song without knowing what the answer would be.A man decided to stop and meet a girl that everyday waits for customers at a traffic lights crossing. Every time this man sees her, on the way back home. Sometimes he has a chat with her. Sometimes he looks into her eyes or he only imagines to have a chat with her. Oh, he is so attracted by her. But obviously he knows her job. For some kind of reason he cannot stop thinking about her face and voice. Not for a sex desire, but simply because the fragments of her personality and soul he has received, were sufficient to chain his mind and heart. He knows that feeling. That is love.Now, everything in this world suggests that love can do anything. Love yields to nothing and to no one. But are we really sure that in this case love is really strong enough to carry on the story?One day he decided to stop, and let her get in like a normal customer, but he is really interested in other feelings, that he needs to confirm or justify. But all the firm beliefs he had before she got in are now crumbling in front of his shame of going with a prostitute. On the other hand, she recognized in his eyes a sort of “tender look”, so common to hundreds of customers she met. At the end of the day he cannot act like a normal customer and he doesn’t accept to have sex with her, ‘cause he loves her. Then, she refuses this theory, ‘cause she cannot see a customer joining her private and intimate sphere as a lover. Everything ends with no romance, no fairy tale ending, but just with a normal human social ending. He gets only her name.In my opinion this would be how this story would end 100% of the time. My question is why can love not face in this case a “social mass opinion”. Every story is possible, in this world. Priests who renounce their vocation for love, or good girls with criminals, rich with poor. Everything crumbles in front of love. Except this.

Lyrics

The same lady on the street, she’s always on my wayBeside the traffic lightsFive miles to an empty home I don’tFeel like staying aloneHey you how much is your night?Just a love for rentHer scent, devil’s essence thatOn money he uses to dance

Sense of light, thin on sight, that slidesHeavy right on my heartSweet dart on me flashing deep, oh dearThere’s much more than a deal…Hey you how much is your love?Priceless shameYour words in a while passed me by

Because of love Tonight I will not hideI cannot dim the light insideWith that cage built on liesTitanic for love should I stop running after youAs there’s no one by my side?

I see, you treat me as a fish who wants to breatheOut of his own seaDo you believe it could be real?Me and you, a whore…Am I ready to lie for the rest of my lifeLike dancing on a wire

For this love Tonight I cannot hideI cannot bear such voices outsideFull of rules empty fool society Titanic for love should I stop running after youAs there’s no one by my…

So.. how is it going? Honey.. I don’t know how this story is gonna endWhat is simple gets so hard and I pretendTo let my heart be free, to be a real manBut echoes bend space and time and my handIs under rules of fools… and I loose… again….againAnd the only thing, tonight, I wantIs the only thing, tonight, I’ll get is your name… your name… Helena

This song it’s not easy to explain in a few words.I have imagined myself to be an alien who travels across the universe, seeking traces and proofs of any kind of evidence of God. Because life ends everywhere in the universe, and this fear I believe is the one we could share with all creatures, wherever they are.Anyway. He lands on the Earth. He starts studying humans using the only method he knows: Living with them and being part of them.The first impression is great. Here, he’s sure to find what he is looking for, because humans are definitely our Lord’s masterpiece.Months after months, he sees the same horrible things life produces everywhere. War, hatred, betrayal, egoism. Here, Life produces its antidote, like everywhere.Is it coherent with the existence of God, creator of life and architect of our nature?The Alien is ready to go back, convinced that life was an error due to the random chaos.But, in the days before leaving, something happens. He meets a woman. He is not able yet to define her beautiful or not, according to the human criteria he has never understood, but he was entranced by this person. The way she looks at him and the way his blood reacts by touching lightly her hair and skin surprises him. Is it the love humans talk about?The fact is that he didn’t find a trace that life is not a joke of time, and the only divine evidence he was able to find was the shivers that went through his veins like a flood, when she just looked at him.He renounced leaving. He destroyed his ship and decided to live with her, considering his quest ended and being certain that they are alone against fate, like everyone in the universe.

Walking through a five billion crowdA golden path straight to the answers’ house Where nothing is known and everything is shownBut the truth seems to be too high

Land and Sky are untiedLike Pain an Pleasure in your lifeOnly Love fights to stay aliveBetween wars and tears should I give up to

Seek?Hidden godWhy believe in aHidden god?Oh, why the Faith and no trace? But within me I feelThe truth is not too high

So tired to touch the crafts of our Mother’s artI realize there’s no sound of our Father’s harpBut when my heart melts awayAnd a moment fills a dayJust because of you…I must say, that’s the wake of light to follow tonight

Land and Sky in your eyesSo I passed the door which dividesThe natural origin and the divineI have found the one thing that lets me give up to

Oh, why that Faith?Light years I’ve crossed to get awake and see there’s no trace that life is not a fakeOr the love is the dogma we may needTo unveil the Scene we wish to see… here… Within me I feelWe are alone tonight
